Hello, Very cool, what change would I have to make to upload multiple images?. Nice tutorial, thanks.

[@emmannweb]

Your backend api that has the image field, you'll set it as array of ojects: [{}]; in your input file you'll add "multiple" as attribute. Your image state will be also array: const [images, setImages] = useState([]); const onChange = e => { const files = Array.from(e.target.files) files.forEach(file => { const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = () => { setImages(oldArray => [...oldArray, reader.result]) } reader.readAsDataURL(file) }) }

Great! did you experience and CORS error when you deployed this project?

[@emmannweb]

Not at all. Because i have added this line in package.json in frontend folder : "proxy":"host: YOUR_BACKEND_PORT". in localhost: "proxy": "localhost:8000" for ex. If 8000 is your backend port.

still experiencing the CORS error, although i am going through a different approach in uploading the files but it works on my local machine

[@emmannweb]

@@toyinatofarati5512 do you have cors package installed in backend and helmet? if so, in your backend server file, add: app.use( helmet.contentSecurityPolicy({ useDefaults: true, directives: { "img-src": ["'self'", "https: data:"] } }) ) for CORS: app.use(cors()); it should work, unless you missed something. Other consideration, if it works on localhost, you're almost there, in your package.json, "proxy": "localhost:BK_PORT", replace localhost by your server IP. and restart it again.

HEY ! im uploading the image from my local files , and posting it using axios to cloudinary but im getting error like this: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. im worried that Cloudinary accept url of image , but when i console logged on image i got an alien huge massive data of leters. those are no way url to image

[@emmannweb]

Hi, In this tuto, the image is converted to Base64, cause Cloudinary support that format, maybe you missed something, the code is still working. I would suggest you to console.log what you'll send to backend and also console.log in backend what you received from frontend, so that you know exactly what's going on.

[@dannelmulja8958]

Hello sir, thank you for uploading this video,, it is very useful Although I encountered a problem In my post method, I used the same way as you did where I make a const result = await cloudinary.uploader.upload but it seems to not be working, because when I check my console it kept throwing to my catch error. I dont know why because I tried a lot of solutions but still it doesnt work Now my image base64 string does not include the data:image/jpeg;base64 but I tried adding them to my image string but it still does not work. Perhaps is there something wrong with my configuration or anything? Should the CLOUD_KEY and the other config variables have the " " as how we copied from the cloudinary? I really don't understand why my const result = await cloudinary.uploader.upload does not work, I tried to console.log under this function to check if it works but it does not output my log so I'm certain the problem is from that function please help thank you :)

[@emmannweb]

Sorry for delay, you have few things to consider, when you're dealing with trouble first of all, is to download the code base to compare your code with,. Secondly it could be your configuration file with the values that come from .env file, recently i'm using the same code in this video lesson: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXetfoWJoa2bbs0 it works really well. Other factor, in your package.json in frontend folder, you should add a "proxy": "localhost:8000", 8000 will represent your choosing backend port, if yours is 9000 you put it. Verify it in my cod base. There is no secret,i think you can do it.

[@manukrishnan4318]

if i add more tan 100 pictures then it become slow ??? when storing imges in mongodb then it become very slow

[@emmannweb]

Well good question, i always advice that as developer we need to know all possibilities to upload images but also be able to make good choice is one of our job as developer. Sure, you would have a higher payload from the json reponse that could lead to a bad experience of the user.

[@sutoraika6976]

do you know how to automatically rename the file before upload? just asking.

[@emmannweb]

I think it's possible but i didn't implement it yet. You'll need extra logic to name it randomly or with unique name and increment the value.

so we don't need to use multer at all here ?

[@emmannweb]

Exactly, we don't need to use multer in this case. If I would use multer, i won't use cloudinary vice-verca. Multer is very popular and it's known to save images locally. As i like more flexibility and portability, I opt for cloudinary.

How can I display images from a specific folder in cloudinary

[@emmannweb]

To display images from a specific folder, as i understand your question, you should create your specific folder before, as i showed you in the video. Since you have pre-configured your specific folder in the backend API, you don't need to worry about them. It will display automacally, from that particular folder, once you make the API call.

[@bappirahman3294]

How to change temp files location? I'm using a serverless read-only server which allow write only one location. How can I set cloudinary to store on that location ? The default location isn't working

[@emmannweb]

Could you be more specific, i mean with more details on the stacks you're using. However to find your implementation type and the way you should do it check this link: cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_reference#explicit, in that Doc you'll find implemenation for PHP, Ruby, Java etc.

@@emmannweb I'm using node and cyclic.sh server when I get the image from frontend cloudinary create temp file in local environment before uploading to cloudinary storage. I want to change the location of that temp files

[@emmannweb]

@@bappirahman3294 ok i get it, did you use other dependency like multer ? etc., in my opinion after the configuration of Cloudinary in the backend, it doesn't require a temp file (i think it's optional). The file name coming from the frontend to backend should exist exactly the same. Other consideration, before sending the image file with convert it to a string in base64, i-e if you can send your text fields in the backend from the frontend(you don't need extra configuration), it supposed to work, i think. All the data like text and image are sent to backend like string. I hope you get it!

@@emmannweb I used multer but I removed it as a dependency and uninstalled it but still I'm getting write error

[@emmannweb]

@@bappirahman3294 if your configuration is correct according to what we've showed in this video it should work. However, in your form before sending the data to the backend console.log them to check if all fields have a value same thing with the image field and verify its name front and back. 2) Probably if you're using Morgan package as middleware, check if your endpoint is reached 3) To enable image of a certain size to be uploaded, use this example : app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '100mb'})); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ // to support URL-encoded bodies limit: '100mb', extended: true }));

1) Seems like the image was not uploaded, check the image field name (front and back), 2) before sending the request, use console.log to check if you have all the fields value. 3) Compare the github project files, to verify what you miss.
